Leadership Change in Nuevo León State Government

The government of Nuevo León is changing its social policy. Mayor Félix Arratia resigns to join the governor's cabinet. Martha Herrera loses influence, and Miguel Flores prepares for a campaign in the capital.


Leadership Change in Nuevo León State Government

Last Tuesday night, it was officially confirmed that he will be in charge of all state government social policy, surpassing Martha Herrera. This process replicates what happened between Miguel Flores and Javier Navarro. Félix Arratia Cruz submitted his indefinite leave application to the local Congress around 11:00 a.m., along with a proposal for his wife, Mónica Oyervides, to remain at the helm of the municipality. Miguel Flores had previously held this position. Regardless of whether Félix Arratia or Daniel Acosta takes over the social programs, Martha would be relegated to leading MC in Monterrey, reducing her chances of running for mayor of the capital. This adds her to the list of officials like Javier Navarro, Sofialeticia Morales, or Juan Ignacio Barragán who were affected by Miguel Flores's entry into the executive branch. This edition anticipated that now the Secretary of Government, Miguel Flores, is aiming for a campaign in the capital, and Daniel Acosta could land in the Secretariat of Equality and Inclusion to boost "Mike." This version makes sense after some lawmakers were directly consulted by the now-former mayor of Juárez, who stated he is already thinking about the interim governorship when Samuel García launches his electoral project. Mayor Félix Arratia will leave the Juárez municipality to join Samuel García's cabinet. He managed to lobby with the PRI, PAN, and some Morena lawmakers, and his appointment was approved with 36 votes. According to what LPO learned, the leaders of MC are not happy with Herrera's electoral work leading up to 2027 and are seeking to displace her from the social programs.
